So, Goblin Gate is coming out October 12 of this year!

That's only four and a half months away! And believe me, I've been waiting for this since I finished Goblin Wood (which was either my first or second Hilari Bell book) and it was a stand-alone novel. But now it's gonna get a sequel : )

And yes, I have this book on pre-order. *virtuous* A whole 6% of the price goes to help the nieces' school! It's my auntly duty to buy as many books as I can through this little marketing scheme.

I'd say I can't wait, but that expression really annoys me. I have a choice of a. wait b. kill myself rather than wait or c. invent time travel. Obviously c isn't happening, and b would leave me frustrated forever, so clearly I can and must wait, but I'll just be really annoyed at the necessity.

I loved your last paragraph. Are you ok with, " I can hardly wait!" or does it still have the same eventual implications of "what if you get tired of waiting"?

I'll live with "I can hardly wait" because, of course, waiting IS hard.

It bothers me immensely when someone says "I can't hardly wait" though. You? Or what about, "I could care less"? It should be, "I COULDN'T care less." That's what I say, anyway.

"I could care less" needs to die.

Oh, I know, it's "sarcastic". Listen, if you don't sound sarcastic, then it ain't sarcastic. /crotchety
